The city pulled it off.
It took ten years but Blum finally got his way. In a comment by the mayor in a local news
paper, the mayor stated that the city has lost millions because it has taken so
long to close the airport. A comment
like this gives the appearance that a huge retail development is just standing
by to start building the proposed BIG BOX promised by the city. So the question is, when will this developer
start? There are many who believe it
will never start. There are many more
people that believe it was never going to be a reality, just talk to justify
Ron Blums vengeance on the airport.
The St. Clair Regional Airport was donated to the city and
paid for by the users of the airport. It
was taken from them by the citizens of St. Clair who did not pay for it or use
it, so they could profit from it, and led by Ron Blum. It just goes to show what someone can do if
they know a senator.
When this all started, we contacted Claire’s office for
help, and they seemed to be onboard, but as it developed, she turned. Even with all of the evidence on what Ron
Blum was doing to the airport, Claire’s top aid stated that none of it made any
difference; she was set on getting it closed.
